I know you live on Long Island. I’ve lived in CT most of my life, including growing up in the early 80s and 90s. Donald Trump has ALWAYS been known as an absolutely terrible businessman who was given everything he’s had. He was always a joke as the tacky, useless, slumlord, POS. It’s shocking to see that anyone sees him as anything other than that. That’s why when he announced his original candidacy it was seen as such a joke. None of this book is really new to people who knew who he was from jump.

Local Teamsters unions in swing states rush to endorse Harris A wave of local and regional Teamsters union branches in battleground states rushed to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris after the national Teamsters union declared that it would not endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in nearly three decades. Teamsters regional councils — representing hundreds of thousands of members and retirees — in Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and western Pennsylvania — endorsed Harris hours after Teamsters President Sean O’Brien revealed Wednesday that the union would withhold its endorsement, saying, “neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union.” Separately, powerful local Teamsters unions in Philadelphia; New York City; Long Beach, Calif.; and Miami — as well as the union’s National Black Caucus and a group of retirees — have endorsed Harris and urged members to vote for her. “Both Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have consistently demonstrated their dedication to championing the labor movement,” Kevin D. Moore, president of Teamsters Joint Council 43, which represents some 245,000 members and retirees in Michigan, wrote in a letter to Harris on Wednesday, announcing the endorsement. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/09/19/teamsters-endorsement-harris-trump/

Why should he withdraw? Just claim it's a witch hunt, which will be completely on brand.

Honestly the best thing that could happen to the actual Republican Party at this point is to get soundly trounced this fall. That seems like it may be the only way to recapture it.

MAGA GOP antisemitism in a bizarre rambling speech. Demented Donnie playing "victim" again. Trump says if he loses election, Jewish voters would have ‘a lot’ to do with it Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Thursday in back-to-back speeches that he would hold Jewish voters responsible if he loses the Nov. 5 election, suggesting that they owe him their support because of his position on Israel and questioning the sanity of Jewish Democrats. “The Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss,” Trump said at a summit on fighting antisemitism in America. “It’s only because of the Democrat hold, or curse, on you.” He made similar remarks later in the evening at the Israeli American Council National Summit. Both events took place in Washington, D.C. Trump did not take questions at either event and did not address the new report that a Republican gubernatorial nominee he has personally boosted, Mark Robinson of North Carolina, once described himself as a “black Nazi” on an internet pornography forum. “Donald Trump has used a speech about antisemitism as an opportunity to embrace antisemitic tropes and attack the American Jewish community,” Spitalnick said in a statement. “Treating Jews and Israel as political footballs makes Jews, Israel, and all of us less safe. Dividing Jews into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ camps and engaging in dual loyalty tropes further normalizes antisemitism.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/19/trump-blames-jews-election-loss/
